André Taylor is the insightful author of multiple business books; a brilliant and successful entrepreneur; top advisor to luxury businesses and brands around the world, and business coach providing confidence and clarity to entrepreneurs growing multi-million-dollar businesses. He’s a media personality, often appearing as a guest expert on television, radio, and podcasts. As a thinker with broad interests, he’s also an accomplished interviewer, engaging business leaders, celebrities, artists and newsmakers, merging the ideas of Luxury and Culture.

For more than two decades, as founder of Taylor Insight Worldwide, André has shared thought-provoking, high-impact ideas on business distinction, preferred client development, and growth, and has garnered a stellar reputation among premier, luxury, and bespoke brands. His monthly newsletter and audio, The Art of Grand Marketing Letter, is an invaluable guide for luxury marketers. His online video, Selling Luxury: The 21 Essentials is a favorite source of inspiration for sales professionals, and his Luxury Lifestyle Advisor certification program, attracts luxury business-builders around the globe.

André long recognized shifts in the luxury market that coincided with the emergence of new brands, new technologies, growing affluence and wealth, and a greater desire among buyers pursuing unique experiences and privileges, while enjoying rising and changing standards of living, leisure, and working. 

A pioneer in digital media, André founded the first company to stream sports video, and deliver custom and personalized digital content to premium clients, in high-tech sports arenas. This service for affluent sports fans was a demonstration of the “new luxury”—products and services, encompassing new categories that would capture the attention of top earners. André soon began teaching his Selling Luxury workshops in the United States, Europe, and Asia and describing a unique marketing opportunity, exploring the new mindset, motivations, and habits of luxury buyers.

Andre’s workshops, audiobooks, videos, e-learning programs, articles, and blog posts captured the attention of thousands of emerging luxury marketers and also sales, marketing, and consultants engaged with traditional luxury brands such as Armani, Bentley, Bergdorf Goodman, Burberry, Christian Dior, Crate & Barrel, David Yurman, Dolce & Gabbana, Equinox, Frank Muller, Gucci, Harrod’s, Hermès, Hilton Worldwide, Jaguar Cars, Mandarin Oriental, Mercedes-Benz, Neiman Marcus, Prada, Tiffany & Company, Sotheby’s International Realty, and more.

André was born in Brooklyn, New York, where very early he developed an interest in entrepreneurship, personal development, and the arts. He began his marketing career on Wall Street, in media and financial services, before founding his own companies.
